The camera size is already huge in iPhone 14 Pro that it doesn’t sit well on MagSafe Duo Charger wishing that they figured out a way to at least keep the size to how it currently is but it looks like there’s no getting around it. It looks like it’s gonna be bigger than 45mm Apple Watch at this point.

      What would you fill all that extra space with?

      Empty air? How is having empty air inside the phone better than having empty air outside the phone?

      A larger battery? So you can charge every second day instead of every day? I don’t think that’d be an improvement, it would almost certainly result in forgetting to charge your phone and you’d be more likely to have it go flat on you. Also batteries are extremely heavy.

      A silicone protective coating? Also known as a phone case. This is really the only one that makes sense, and you can already do it.

          If you don’t need to charge your iPhone ever night, then you won’t charge it every night. And sometimes you’ll forget to charge it two nights in a row, and then your battery won’t last the day.

      Instead of one small part of the phone being slightly thicker, a part where you hand doesn’t even touch and it genuinely doesn’t matter, you’d rather the entire phone be thicker, making it take up more space in you hand and pocket. Then you’d have to do something with all this extra space you’ve wasted, so the phone will have to get heavier and use more materials to make.

      And in return for worse ergonomics, cost, space efficiency, and overall aesthetics, all we get is a… smooth back? Which amounts to an ARGUABLY improved different aesthetic that affects less of the overall design than the thickness does? That sounds like the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals. That’s like putting square tires on a Jeep because it arguably matches the overall shape of the vehicle lol. Especially since most people have cases on their phones which could easily make up for the difference in thickness anyway.
